Question
What made you decide to go with the Brazilians over the Aussies (Renegades)?

Answer
I can’t go too much into specifics here honestly. I’ll just say that we looked heavily at several rosters before settling on the ex-TS guys. Some of those deals didn’t happen because of issues on the player side. Some didn’t happen because of issues on the org side.

Love the Aussies and really hope to see them succeed.
